Description
ABSTRACT
This project is anchored on the design and construction of Tiles, windows and furniture involves in the conference room their method and pattern of construction, it’s advantages value and as well other valuable tool such as; working tools for the construction o tiles; (cement, white cement, fine aggregate e.t.c); tools for the construction of windows; (nails and screws, drills e.t.c) and also tools for the construction of furniture
Furthermore, the purpose of tiles, it values, it significance from other floor beauty materials, and also the types of tiles and the purposes of other types as differ.
In addition too, this project covers the construction of different types of windows, even for the differential purpose, the value of different window structures as pertaining to it cost and the shapes as ficatured in the pictures .

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
A tile is a manufactured pieces of hard wearing materials such as ceramic, stone, metal used as a finishing floor and walls or other object such as table top used as ornamentals that add beauty to the surface applied either in buildings, offices and so on. Another category is the ceiling tile, made from light weight materials such as wood and mineral wool.
Tiles are used to form wall and floor coverings and can range from single square tiles to complete mosaic. Tiles are most often from ceramics, with a raft glazed finished, and also same other materials which are available such as glass, marble, granites, slates and reformed ceramic slurry which is cost in a mould and fired.
In the past 20years, the technology surrounding porcelain and glass tiles had become more efficient, allowing for mass production. Similarly the invention automated tile line that used diamond, to cut and finished stone slabs into tiles has made stone tile more available. This is in term as allowed these tiles to move from beings riche items into broader markets.
The ceramic tile demand index has shown a growth of 55% annually for the year 2000-2005 periods. The OSAN world demand for finished granite index has shown a growth of 14% annually for the year 2000-2005 periods. Hence, OS market for ceramic is about 3billion.
1.1 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The main aim of the project is to remodelling the conference room using tiles as the floor finishing and with the following objectives.
- To improve the floor surface finishing by laying tile on the floor.
- To carry out investigation on various type of tiles which are available for used.
- To provide the bill of quantities floor tiles construction with estimation of each materials used.
- To know the various methods involved in laying floor tiles.
- Also to know various materials, equipment and tools used in floor tiles construction.
1.2 SCOPE OF STUDY
This project entails the production of bill of quantities and construction of offices floor tiles and the processes of construction of floor tiles finishing.
- To allow for routine maintaining of a floor surface
- To improve the floor surface damp proofness
CHAPTER FIVE
5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Floor finishes, windows and as well home or office furniture which are vital finishes, However, it structure that is made with theses materials make the structures are beautiful. As-par, it durability and advantages other home finishes ranges from it value, structure, Ornamental beauty and product from which it was produce.
Tiles are used to form wall and floor covering and can range from single. Square tile to complex mosaics Tile are most often from ceramics, with a hard glazed finish and also some other material which are available such as glass, marble, granites, slate and slurry which is cast in a mould and fired.
Window is an opening in the wall or roof of a building, fitted with other transparent materials in a frame to admit high or air and allow communication to the outside through the frame. It ranges in types and shapes and it purposes are differed. It finishes are prompted from different materials ranging from wood, metal, aluminium and glass.
Furniture are interiors present inside a structure furniture are constructed from a material (timber) which has been widely used across the globe by various materials, design and pattern. Wood furniture are to be constructed along with some factors to be put into consideration, these factors include price, durability, availability and ability to resist change in weather and those above factors can be traced towards the choice of materials to be used for the construction.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the experience gained during the installation of ceramic floor tiles, it will be of great advantages and development. If engineering body can be set up some research works for the students on various types of tiles for floor finishes, both there production and construction.
This is turn will broaden the student knowledge in various forms of damp proof course and different types of floor finishes which include terrazzo, ceramic tiles, plastic tiles, concrete tiles marbles tiles e.t.c
Based on the experience gained during the installation of Aluminium and glass has proved to be an essential material to be adopted in the construction firm, in area of constructing partition, openings and all other structure with their limitation of load capacity, therefore it can be recommended in the construction of office use an residential purpose and it also conform to human safety.
Finally, relevant text book on design and construction of ceramic tiles and Aluminium glass should be organised to teach students about the project.
